Busko Lake

The Busko Lake has a 55.8 km2 size and is located at a height of 700 meters. Two thirds of the lake are in the municipality of Tomislavgrad, and one third is in the municipality of Livno. It is one of the largest lakes in Europe based on lake size. It was produced in the 1970s as the Buko mud sank.


Due to its geographical location on the border of Bosnia, Dalmatia, and Herzegovina as well as its favorable climate, the lake draws a lot of tourists. Countless archaeological sites, numerous Roman and Illyrian ruins, several artifacts, and innumerable cemeteries with numerous tombstones have been left behind by the region's fascinating past.


This area offers practically all sporting opportunities in addition to historic features. The lake's water is exceptionally warm and inviting for swimming during the summer. Nearly all sports that require wind are ideal for the lake. Visitors can climb the hills and mountains that surround the lake and stay in mountain cottages while on vacation.

Aside from this, fisherman find the lake to be quite appealing. It is abundant in fish and is home to endemic species like the Dalmatian Barbelgudgeon, minnow-nase, and European chub, while catfishing has recently gained popularity. The over 40 kilogram specimens that are caught and photographed draw trophy specimen hunters and inspire the imagination of anglers.
